Повестка в суд за неуплату TV лицензии (было: Срочно! Помогите! Повестка в суд)

[ion]

Сообщение от D_IRL

Извиняюсь, позвонил и спросил моего знакомого ирландца - спросил где и как он получил бесплатную ТВ лицензию?

У него БЕСПЛАТНАЯ ЛИЦЕНЗИЯ потому что он на дисабилити (по болезни) - выдает социал;
- если ПРОСТО НА СОЦИАЛЕ - НАДО ПЛАТИТЬ!

Здесь несколько шире, чем из опыта знакомого ирландца.
